Position Summary:

JGMS Government Services is looking to hire a Project Manager/Assistant Project Manager to lead teams delivering complex capital and infrastructure projects across a large, operational campus environment.

• Define project scope, develop execution strategies, and establish cost, schedule, procurement, and resource plans.
• Adapt project strategies to evolving budgets and government funding cycles.
• Guide projects through internal governance and government approval processes, including development of decision packages and submittals.
• Coordinate across engineering, construction, procurement, finance, operations, sponsors, and oversight stakeholders.
• Oversee general contractor and subcontractor execution in a highly regulated environment.
• Identify and mitigate risks related to scope changes, budget constraints, and working within existing infrastructure.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to improving overall project execution practices.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in project management, construction management, or engineering, or 0 to 10+ years of experience.
• Ability to lead project teams through complex constraints within a structured regulatory framework.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to clearly convey project needs and status.
• Sound judgment when navigating changing budgets, shifting priorities, and multiple approval steps.
• Ability to solve practical infrastructure and facility challenges on an active site.
• Leadership presence and ability to align matrixed teams.
• Ownership mindset with strong follow-through.
• Capital projects within complex campuses, industrial sites, government facilities, or similar environments.
• Office buildings, laboratory facilities, utilities, and infrastructure projects.
• Working within formal approval and funding processes.
• Contractor and subcontractor management.
• Cost estimating, scheduling, procurement planning, and change control.
